[quote author=buddybuddha link=1101777086/0#0 date=1101777086]Well I recently was found doing a little test board and I saw that the following mods seem to work flawlessly with no modification whatsoever:

I have been trying to install the file attachment 2.3 mod on a sp 1.4 board, but boardmod spits various search string errors. Even the first line that is searched for in YaBB.cgi:

use CGI qw(header cookie); # so we can use the header and cookie printing

cannot be found. Indeed, nothing resembling this line can be found in the sp 1.4 version of Yabb.cgi. I don't understand how the quoted poster could have installed with "no modification at all". Can anyone help me with this? I am upgrading from sp 1.1 to 1.4.

Just trying the same thing - not yet successful. But I think, it can be done. Have a look at post #38 on: 15.01.05 at 23:32 in this thread. oggols04 has installed several mods. On his list we find "44 Recent Users list "Stay tuend...

Hiello all.I have been reading all the messages about file attachment mod for SP1.4 Gold and agree with those who are still having problems even with the latest Beta version of the mod. In trying to analyse where the problem lies I find the board gives the 'Server Error' message once Subs.pl is uploaded to the server. With all other uploads, but without Subs.pl the board displays the file attachment stuff, but as one would expect, it doesn't allow posts, stating that the subject box has not been filled in (fair enough). Obviously my question is the same as for the others who have problems - how do we get it to work? The changes in Subs.pl from basic SP1.4 to the modified version are significant, so it doesn't seem to be a question of a 'quick' fix. I would just add that I have not added any other mods to my version of SP1.4 I downloaded and that otherwise the forum works very well, so the mod doesn't work for me even against the most basic, untouched SP 1.4 version.Hope someone can help, as I really need this mod to work. Thanks. (and sorry for the long post).

Thanks very much for such a prompt reply.I used the B3.0i version, with Boardmod 2.5.4 under WinXP. It ran with no errors (B3.0h had 11 errors), so I uploaded the modified files to the server (using AceFTP3), and then changed the admin stuff, which was when I discovered the mod seemed screw up the forum. I guess it is possible I didn't set the admin parameters quite right, though I thought I had at the time. Could this have caused such a problem?Thanks.

Thanks again for your input. I checked the paths and found nothing wrong, but decided to upload everything again and it - almost - burst into life! The forum now allows an attachment to be uploaded, and when vieweing the post it shows it as being there, and with my FTP program I can see it actually is there, but neither IE6 nor Mozilla (RedHat) will allow the attachment to be viewed or downloaded. The paths to the /yabbattach directory are:

/httpdocs (chmod 755) - the main html directory./httpdocs/yabbattach (chmod 777) - the attachment directory.(I have no chmod control above the /httpdocs directory)
